	The 2940 trades primarily through specialist dealer inventory and the secondary auction market rather than at major Geneva houses. Phillips and Heritage have handled examples; Sotheby's and Christie's have occasionally included 2940s in mid-tier vintage lots; Antiquorum and Bonhams have listed them in catalog sales. The bulk of market activity happens through vintage Rolex specialist dealers, forum-adjacent private sales, and platforms like Chrono24 and 1stDibs. Price discovery is accordingly uneven, and a given configuration can trade at widely varying prices depending on venue and market conditions.
